The coronet and Dauntless.

PHILADELPHIA. March H. Capt.
NOVEL;, OF the steamer British Prince,
from Liverpool. makes the following re-
port: On Monday, the l4th inst, at 9:l5
a. M, in latitude 40.l. longitude t4.0l;
passed the schooner yachts seven miles to
the northward. At 1910 a. m. the
schooner yacht Dauntless displayed her
signals abeam in latitude 80. SIS, longitude
Ga. IL. Strong breeze and all canvas set.
Every stitch of canvas was being used on
both boats. There was at the time
the yachts were sighted, a strong breeze
blowing from west to northwest; they were
about twenty-five miles apart. This would
indicate that the yachts are taking a more
southerly course than that pursued by the
trans Atlantic steamships at this season.
When the observation was made, the
Coronet had made about 600 geographical
miles and the Dauntless about $50 miles.
Though the Coronet is eleven miles further
to the eastward, she is on account of he
more northcrly position more than this
number of miles in advance of the Daunt-
less.

For a long time there has been more or
less trouble among the colored people of
Cheyenne. which dates back to the time
OF the last political campaign when there
was a serious disagreement as to who
should be put forward by the colored peo-
pie as their candidate for the house of
representatives. Later on there was trouble
between some of them in regard to a
quarrel which arose among colored child.
rem at the west end school which resulted
in a fight Or two and a law suit. In vari
u ways fuel has been added to the
flames until there came to be a bad state
of feeling among many of this class of our
citizens.
The Rev. Mr.. Triplett, however, has
been at work trying to have settled ami
cably all of these differences of opinion,
and finally his efforts have been crowned
with success. A meeting of the discordant
elements was held under his supervision
which has resulted in burying the Ratchet,
and peace, good will and harmony once
more prevail.
